I know that this has probably been asked hundreds of times but given the newer books and comics out, can any tell me what the chorological order is?
It’s kind of tricky since several encompass decades of events in a single book but here I’m going based on what the earliest “main dates” are in the book or comic.
Soma the Painter
Cryptum
Primordium
Silentium
*Rebirth
Halo 3: The Cradle of Life
The Fall of Reach and Fall of Reach
Pariah
Dirt
Contact Harvest
Halo Wars: Genesis
The Cole Protocol
The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole
Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian (We know it’s post 2548)
Helljumper
Blunt Instruments
Blood Line
The Flood
First Strike
The Mona Lisa
Palace Hotel
Ghosts of Onyx
Wages of Sin
Human Weakness
Uprising
Initiation

The Return
Headhunters and Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss are at an unknown date, but sometime during the Human-Covenant War.
